Virgin Atlantic tells women cabin crew they can ditch makeup but must follow chosen palette if they want to use it
Virgin Atlantic flight attendants can choose to wear make up if they want as long as they keep the airline's color palette in mind
Virgin Atlantic recently announced that its women flight attendants can opt to not wear makeup so as to allow their cabin crew "more choice on how to express themselves at work."
The airline has been known for its 1950s style of glossy service to passengers and customers and even had their own shade of lipstick called Upper-Class Red by Bare Minerals. The staff is allowed to wear makeup if they choose to but have to adhere to "the airline's suggested color palette." The executive vice president of Virgin Atlantic's customer, Mark Anderson shared with HuffPost, "We have been listening to the views of our people and as a result have announced some changes to our styling and grooming policy that support this."
